Aside from

the guinea pig that passed away, the old guinea pig with the young guinea pig I have left, the random bites I keep getting from my birds going crazy on me, and the cat being on a diet… nothing else seems to be going on but (1) thing:

My baby bird has another word! I’ve only been calling Koi “Monkey” as a secondary name since shortly after she moved in like 2 years ago. Now she pretty clearly goes, “monKEY”.
She said “poooke” like unnnnK
She said “gimme kissy”
She said “monKEY”

Now if only I could get the other girls to say things more often. Every now and again I hear Jak going “bebe” and sometimes at night I hear someone trying to say “night night”.
It takes so long with my green cheek conures.
